On a beautiful, sunny Saturday, I took my usual stroll through Central Park. The excitement of the warm weather, was ideal for my new sundress. I fell in love with this printed beauty, during my shopping trip to Los Angeles, the bright colors and gorgeous florals caught my eye.
I took a quick trip to LA, for some inspiration, shopping and a change of scenery. While New York is always my love, I felt the need for some beachy sunshine in my life.
One of my favorite jewelry pieces is a heart shaped charm with a jeweled ballerina, passed down from my parents. It was one the first gifts my dad had given my mom, when they began dating. My dad carefully chose this beautiful piece, and added an inscription of love on the back of the charm.
You’ve made last minute dinner plans and you’re 15 minutes from darting out the door when you realize you have nothing to wear. You raid your closet, tossing every outfit over your head, until they gracefully float to the floor, into a colorful mountain of clothing. If you’re like me, you’ve changed 17 times, with multiple handbag options strewn all over, until you finally decide on something semi desirable.
Dressed head to toe in spring brights, including a hot pink dress, featuring the Calypso Statement necklace I designed, and my Badgley Mischka gold open toe pumps, I headed to the Meatpacking District. I accessorized with an electric blue envelope clutch adorned with gold studs. Inspired by a bright spring sorbet color palette, I used pinks, coral, aqua, and tangerine dyed jade beads along with gold crystallized glass to create the Calypso Jade Necklace. The beads were suspended from a multi ring gold chain. This gorgeous statement piece was a fantastic addition to my dress.
One of my favorite parts of spring, is fashion transition. You’ve had it with your winter wardrobe and you are considering burning your winter coat. You may walk into a boutique full of colorful spring and summer merchandise, but yet you are still walking around that awful winter coat. As much as you may want to go on a spending spree buying all of these bright beauties, you realize that it will be a few months before the weather gets warm enough to wear them.
March is about that time of year when sun seems to shine a little brighter, and we anxiously await those first, glorious days of spring. For me, the excitement comes with the bright new colors and prints in the boutique windows. I am inspired by the latest styles of the upcoming season. This weekend, on a beautiful sunny Saturday, we felt that taste of spring. Central Park was bustling with people enjoying the beautiful weather. I decided to spend the afternoon in my beautiful city, exploring the park and people watching.
